Galaxy S 5 rumors, iOS 7 extended hands-on, & Nokia EOS leaks: Pocketnow Weekly 048

Опубликовано 13 июня 2013, 18:42

The Pocketnow Weekly is an audio-only podcast, cross-posted here for your listening convenience. For those seeking video content, please see the Pocketnow Live series. (Full description, plus time codes, below.)

Before we begin, we'd just like to say something to everyone who's going to call us out for click-baiting with that "Galaxy S 5" title: your allegations are completely founded and true.

But look here: even though Galaxy S 5 rumors are (to say the least) premature and indicative of a serious problem with our nasty-fast industry -an issue we discuss on the air- they're also important. That's because, as unreliable and, frankly, stupid as they are, they also give us an opportunity to discuss the future of Samsung industrial design. And any opportunity we get to talk about the Galaxy family in a broad sense is a good one - especially with weirdos like the Galaxy S 4 Zoom breaking cover.

There's more great meat here, too. Brandon stops by for a half-hour to talk about the new iOS 7 beta - how it feels, how it looks, and what it says about the overdue progression of Apple's software design; Taylor waxes poetic about life on the Galaxy Mega's 6.3-inch display; and, in what's become a weekly tradition, we dive into still more leaks surrounding Nokia's fabled EOS super-cameraphone.

All that, plus some truly insightful and fun listener mail, after the break. We've taken off the lens cap and coaxed our xenon flash to charge up; today's installation of the Pocketnow Weekly podcast is about ready to sear this technology news week into your brain.
